And goodbye until tomorrow.
Goodbye until the next time you call,
And I will be waiting.
I will be waiting.
Goodbye until tomorrow.
Goodbye ‘til I recall how to breathe,
And I have been waiting,
I have been waiting for you.

She watches him go. 

I stand on a precipice.
I struggle to keep my balance.
I open myself,
I open myself one stitch at a time.

Finally yes!
Finally now!
Finally something takes me away.
Finally free!
Finally he can cut through these strings,
And open my wings!

So goodbye until tomorrow!
Goodbye until my feet touch the floor,
And I will be waiting,
I will be waiting!
Goodbye until tomorrow!
Goodbye until the rest of my life
And I have been waiting,
I have been waiting for you!
Waiting for you,
Waiting for you!

JAMIE appears at the table.  He is writing a note on a yellow pad on the table- his wedding ring is on the table next to it, where it was at the beginning of the show.

JAMIE
I called Elise to help me pack my bags.
I went downtown and closed the bank account.
It’s not about another shrink,
It’s not about another compromise.
I’m not the only one who’s hurting here.
I don’t know what the Hell is left to do.
You never saw how far the crack had opened.
You never knew I had run out of rope and

I could never rescue you.
All you ever wanted,
But I could never rescue you,
No matter how I tried.
All I could do was love you hard
And let you go.

He puts down the pen, stands and looks around the empty apartment.

No matter how I tried,
All I could do was love you.
God, I loved you so.
So we could fight,
Or we could wait,
Or I could go…

CATHERINE
Just close the gate;
I’ll stand and wait.She is looking off, where she watched him go.
He is looking up at her on her steps.

Jamie . . .

BOTH
Goodbye.
